Chapter 15

"Good morning," The man at the butcher shops says from behind a counter, and I can see that he is cutting meat.

"I have some bear meat I want to sell." Hopefully, being blunt will get me money quickly. I've got a lot to sell, though, so I might have to visit other places.

"How much do you want to sell?" He asks and looks up.

"I've got a thousand pounds." His eyes bulge for a second, but he contains himself.

"I'll give you a credit for every pound." Yes! I think he's going to buy all of it! I wonder what I should do with it, though. I don't see anywhere good to place it, and the counter with the clean meat definitely wouldn't work.

"Alright, where do you want it?" I ask him.

"You can bring the cart around back and I'll unload and weigh it." Hm... doesn't he have inventory too? People have statuses, so they probably have inventory too.

"I've got it in my inventory." He looks shocked after I speak.

"Oh, I should have guessed that you were an adventurer," He says and puts away the meat he was working with. "Come around back with me and we can sort everything out." I don't know what he means by me being an adventurer, but I follow him anyways.

I want to keep the hare meat to use in traps, but I want to sell all of the bear meat. After about an hour of weighing meat, I sell a thousand pounds for a thousand credits! So much satisfaction hearing him say "Transfer 1,000 credits". I now have 2350 credits, and I move on to the next store.

There is a general store not too far away, so I go there first. I will probably be able to sell everything there, and I hope I didn't get a bad deal on the meat.

Coming out of the general store, I feel like a fool. The woman working there, 10/10 hot babe by the way, told me I could only sell at places that specialized in the product, as per regulation from the merchant's guild.

Next, I visit a tailor. The man inside is nice, and he buys the leather and the hides from the hares, the wolves, and the bears. He gave me 10 credits for each hare hide, 40 credits for each wolf hide, and 100 credits for each bear hide. I feel like a totally boss walking out of a tailor shop with 1210 additional credits! Woo! With all this, I've got 3540 credits. Total G.

I need to build a house, so the next few places I visit are for building my house. I have a general idea of how to build a house because of my construction skill, and I know what materials I need. Each piece of the wood for constructing the long side of the house if 50 credits. Each piece of the short side is 30 credits. I need about 18 long pieces and 18 short pieces, so I'm looking at 1440 credits for the wood alone.

It's not even going to be a particularly nice looking house.

I can get all the nails I need for 10 credits, and I can get a hammer for 20 credits. I can get a saw for 20 credits. I feel kinda ripped off for buying the axe from the shop-day, but I can't turn back time. A door is going to run me 100 credits, and I decide to skip getting windows. A roof for the snow will cost quite a bit, so I'm looking at another 400 credits for just that. I need to get some gray gobbly-goop, and that cost yet another 200 credits.

All in all, everything is 2190 credits. After buying all that, I only have 1350 credits left, and I feel kinda poor without my money. I can't do anything about not having tons of money saved up, so I head to some more shops to spend more money.

First, I need a bed. I get the best bed, because I need something soft to lay my glorious butthole on. 200 credits hurts, but I pay it. I thought about buying a lamp, but then I remember my night vision! I leave with just a bed, and I've got 1150 credits. With these remaining credits and everything in my inventory, I go back to the tavern.
